Study Notes
Card 1 - Quadratic Equation
- Solve (x + 3)² = 225 leads to x = 11 or x = -15.
- Potential values for x - 1 are examined; only x = 11 is valid, resulting in 12.
Card 2 - Quantity Comparison
- Equation x² - 2x = 0 yields x values of 0 and 2.
- Comparison between x and 2 is indeterminate since x can take two values.
Card 3 - Expression Evaluation
- Compare QA: d(d² - 2d) and QB: d(d² - 2d) + 1.
- Uncertainty exists due to unknown value of d.
Card 4 - Integer Relationships
- Given a = 2b = 4c, determine if a + b or a + c is greater.
- The result is uncertain without knowing the signs of a, b, and c.
Card 5 - Nonnegative Integer Comparison
- From k = 2m = 4n, evaluate quantities km vs. kn.
- Cannot determine which is larger as k, m, and n may be zero.
Card 6 - Linear Equations
- From the equations 3x + 6y = 27 and x + 2y + z = 11, both expressions z + 5 and x + 2y - 2 are equal.
- No need for individual computations reveals equality.
Card 7 - Proportional Relationships
- With a = b/2 and c = 3b, comparing a vs. c is inconclusive.
- Unknowns about the signs of a, b, or c hinder definitive assessment.
Card 8 - Inverse Proportionality
- Time to erect a bonfire is inversely proportional to the number of students.
- If 20 students take 1.5 hours, 35 students will take approximately 51 minutes.
Card 9 - Sum Relationships
- For integers a, b, and c where a + b = 75% of c, the comparison of expressions depends on potential negativity.
- Hence, the quantities can't be clearly evaluated.
Card 10 - Proportionality and Quantities
- Given a = 1/2 b and b = 1/3 c, and d = 3c, comparison yields equality between (a + b)/c and (a + b + c)/d.
Card 11 - Expression Analysis
- For a ≠b, comparison of (a - b)/(b - a) results in a negative value.
- Therefore, Quantity B (which is 1) is greater.
Card 12 - Inequality and Expressions
- If x > y and x ≠y, the comparison of ratios of squares indicates uncertainty in relative sizes.
- Further examination of the solution is recommended.
Card 13 - Inverse Proportionality Example
- If a is inversely proportional to b, then when a = 16 (b = 1), decreasing a to 8 results in b = 2.
Card 14 - Direct Proportionality Example
- Directly proportional case gives a = 8 when b = 2, thus for b = 4, a must equal 16.
Card 15 - Reiterating Inverse Proportionality
- Again considers time and students for erecting a bonfire; calculation confirms the time taken as 51 minutes.
Card 16 - Integer Sum Relationships
- Similar to Card 9, evaluates sum conditions with a + b = 75% of c, emphasizing potential for negative values complicating comparisons.
Card 17 - System of Equations
- From the equations a + b = 8, b + c = 11, and a + c = 5, summing all yields a + b + c = 12 as the solution.
